EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mencius, an ancient Chinese philosopher who lived from 372 to 289 BC. The image, taken in 1922, showcases a man deeply engrossed in reading, surrounded by books and sitting on an intricately designed chair. Dressed in traditional Chinese robes and wearing a hat that signifies his status as a scholar, Mencius exudes wisdom and intellect. Mencius is widely regarded as one of the most prominent Confucian philosophers after Confucius himself. His teachings emphasized the importance of cultivating moral character and promoting social harmony through benevolence and righteousness. As we gaze at this portrait, we are reminded of his significant contributions to Chinese philosophy. The photograph is part of the "Myths and Legends of China" collection by Edward TC Werner, published by George G Harrap & Co in 1922. It offers us a glimpse into both history and literature, allowing us to connect with this influential figure from centuries ago. As we admire this image today, it serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by great thinkers like Mencius. Their ideas continue to shape our understanding of ethics, morality, and human nature. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on the timeless wisdom contained within its subject's pages.
